Contract Variations

1. Once a Contract has been signed then cancellation or cessation of any of the services ordered may incur charges.

2. If the Contract or any part of the Service is cancelled at any time before BT provides the Service then the Customer will be liable to pay the full 1 Year Minimum Period Set-up Fees plus 1 Quarter's Rental Charges at the 1 Year Minimum Period rates. There will be a five day period following receipt of the signed Contract by the BT Hosted IPT - Cisco Technical Centre, during which cancellation may be made without incurring charges.

5. For each customer network, provided that during each year of the Minimum Period a customer does not cease more than 10%of their Hosted IPT - Cisco Line Appearances and Trunk Appearances in service at the beginning of that year, then paragraph 4 will not apply to those services.
